Applications

Commonly used in the motor vehicle industry and widely used for numerous general engineering applications. 735A51 is suitable for applications that require high tensile properties combined with toughness. Typical applications include pumps, crankshafts, steering knuckles, gears and spindles.

Analysis

Carbon	0.48-0.54%	Vanadium	0.10%-0.20%
Manganese	0.70-1.00%	Phosphorous	0.035% max
Silicon	0.20-0.35%	Sulphur	0.035% max
Chromium	0.90-1.20%

Forging

Preheat carefully, then raise temperature to 1050°C for forging. Do not forge below 840°C. After forging slowly cool the steel, preferably in a furnace.

Annealing

Heat the steel slowly to 820-840°C, soak well. Slowly cool in a furnace.

Hardening

Slowly heat the 735A51 to 650-700°C and thoroughly soak. Continue to heat the steel to the final hardening temperature of 830-860°C and allow the component to be heated through. Quench in oil.

Tempering

Temper the steel component immediately after quenching whilst tools are still hand warm. Re-heat to the tempering temperature then soak for one hour per 25 millimetre of total thickness (two hours minimum) Cool in air. For most applications tempering will be between 400-600°C.

Heat Treatment

Heat treatment temperatures, including rate of heating, cooling and soaking times etc.. will vary due to factors such as the shape and size of each 735A51 steel component. Other considerations during the heat treatment process include the type of furnace, quenching medium and work piece transfer facilities. Please consult your heat treatment provider for full guidance on heat treatment.
